I've seen it happen both ways - people stopping instead of "pulling over" and people legitimately stopping and still getting run into. Sometimes, our party of 6 would slow or stop to be able to work our way over to something (ie: walking down middle of Main Street and trying to get over to a store). If people follow too closely, it's hard to avoid a collision. It's hard, but we also have to take each incident with a grain of salt....you may have been cut off 8 times already, but that may be the first time that family has ever (EVER!) done something like that. I don't always remember that, but I try really hard! (OK, not really hard...I live to snipe about people once I've passed them - but it's still good advice!)

What has bugged me more than the "stoppers" are the "no personal space" people who are hugging you in line (or their kids are playing on the bars/ropes/etc and keep touching your bum!). In these cases, I get a bit passive-aggressive and do something that causes me to bump (oops!) them back a little - kinda pointing out how close they are when all I'm doing is turning to talk to DH...Worst line for this is Haunted Mansion (mostly at DLR) where everyone is jockeying for position after leaving the first room to get on the Doom Buggies.
